Additional quotes by Julia de Burgos

Humanly, and free,/and distant, and matter/that down there, very deep/I will rhyme a song.

Look, the rich are bankrolled/where your suffering begins

It must be the caress of the useless,/the endless sadness of being a poet,/of singing and singing, without breaking/the peerless tragedy of existence.

We are of the new voice, stretched, instinctive/that will shake the language of progress. - Julia de Burgos
